Hasbro Goldar


From the Mighty Morphine Power Rangers, here's the villain Goldar. A golden, winged monster with purple face and wings. He's nicely painted and sculpted and looks very cool.






He comes with 2 pairs of hands (holding and one with left fist and right open). He also has a sword and a purple swirling effect for it that's a soft plastic. His wings also come separate and attach to his back via pegs. The holding hands have a tight grip, so the sword fits snuggly in them.






He's articulated on his neck, his wings have hinges where they clip near the back and hinges halfway through where can flip upward and a bit inward. He's also articulated at the shoulders, elbows, hinges at the wrists, upper torso, thighs, knees and ankles. Due to the sculpt, the ankles can't move too far forward. His upper torso and thighs are a bit loose, and due to weight of his wings, it takes some work to get him to stand on his own. His armor pieces around his waist and tail in the back are soft plastic, so you can get him to sit.






The sculpt and paint is really nice, with darker highlights throughout his armor. His tail and braids around his head are detailed very nicely, and the black feathers on his wings are individually sculpted and look quite stunning. There is a lot of intricate patterns throughout his armor that really stand out and pop. Hasbro put a lot of work into making Goldar look really great.




Hasbro did a good job with this figure. Despite the loose thighs and torso, he still looks great and is fun to pose. For the price he goes for (about $18), he makes a good addition to your collection.

Help Me… I’m Possessed (1974) / #Missingcouple (2024)

I've watched some weird, obscure horror movies throughout my life. I can now add this lurid 1974 schlockfest to that growing list. In a castle in the desert, Dr. Arthur Blackwood runs a sanitarium filled with mentally disturbed patients (as well as staff). He claims to be working on finding a way to cure people of any violent tendencies they have, and brags about his younger sister, innocent, child-like Melanie, as evidence that his treatment works. When she was a child, their parents had to keep her locked up and chained in the basement, to control her violent fits. Now that he's cured her, Arthur has his wife Diane come to the castle to meet Melanie, so that they can be one big, happy family. Diane begins to grow suspicious that something is amiss after a Sheriff shows up investigating the murder of 2 local teens, and sets about on her own investigation, hoping to uncover the sinister secrets that she feels her husband is hiding. Help Me... I'm Possessed is an outrageous,...

S.H. MonsterArts Anguirus 1972

One of my most anticipated figure releases of 2025 was finally delivered this last week. Godzilla's trusty sidekick, S. H. MonsterArts Anguirus (based on the 1972 suit). From the early video and photo reviews I had seen, he looked to have turned out a great figure. Now that I have him in hand, he absolutely is! This Ankylosaurus is based on the suit that was introduced in 1968's Destroy All Monsters, and made subsequent appearances in Godzilla vs. Gigan (72), Godzilla vs. Megalon (73), and Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla (74). Anguirus was the 2nd Toho monster to ever appear on screen, dueling with the big G in 1955's Godzilla Raids Again. For the later films, he became Godzilla's buddy, helping him out in his various battles. I'm a bit surprised that it took Bandai this long to release Anguirus in the MonsterArts line, as he's one of the more popular kaiju, but better late than never. He's painted in a chocolate brown, with pale yellow on his various spikes, hor...

Ultraman Omega finale

Episode 25, the series finale of Ultraman Omega aired this Friday. From the very first episode I was hooked, and the series continued to maintain a high quality until the surprisingly emotional end. Sorato (Omega) regained all his memories, learning that he was one of many Space Gazers, who's job is to watch a planet and not interfere with any wars between the species (in Earth's case, humans and kaiju). A space Gazer's job is to observe, study and take notes, to learn from a planet's successes and mistakes, in the hopes of finding the right formula to achieve universal peace. Having returned to his previous role as simply a watcher, Kosei, Ayumu and Sayuki were forced to rely on themselves and their team to defeat the powerful kaiju Zomera. As he continued to watch the battle, Sorato/Omega found himself wrestling with the inactive role he was meant to do and his memories of the friendships he had forged with the others, as well as the examples of human kindness he had ...
